This fixes the test 506 torture test. The internal cookie API really
ought to be improved to separate cookie parsing errors (which may be
ignored) with OOM errors (which should be fatal).
The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.

test1435: a simple test that checks whether a HTTP request can be
performed over the UNIX socket. The hostname/port are interpreted
by sws and should be ignored by cURL.
test1436: test for the ability to do two requests to the same host,
interleaved with one to a different hostname.

The variable `$ipvnum` can now contain "unix" besides the integers 4
and 6 since the variable. Functions which receive this parameter
have their `$port` parameter renamed to `$port_or_path` to support a
path to the UNIX domain socket (as a "port" is only meaningful for TCP).

If sws is killed it might leave a stale socket file on the filesystem
which would cause an EADDRINUSE error. After this patch, it is checked
whether the socket is really stale and if so, the socket file gets
removed and another bind is executed.

This extends sws with a --unix-socket option which causes the port to
be ignored (as the server now listens on the path specified by
--unix-socket). This feature will be available in the following patch
that enables checking for UNIX domain socket support.
Proxy support (CONNECT) is not considered nor tested. It does not make
sense anyway, first connecting through a TCP proxy, then let that TCP
proxy connect to a UNIX socket.

Instead of depending the socket domain type on use_ipv6, specify the
domain type (AF_INET / AF_INET6) as variable. An enum is used here with
switch to avoid compiler warnings in connect_to, complaining that rc
is possibly undefined (which is not possible as socket_domain is
always set).
Besides abstracting the socket type, make the debugging messages be
independent on IP (introduce location_str which points to "port XXXXX").
Rename "ipv_inuse" to "socket_type" and tighten the scope (main).

Commit curl-7_23_1-143-g8218064 changed the parameter of
responsive_http_server to accept types other than IPv6 (converting
from a boolean to a string), but only considered the lower-case "ipv6"
and not the "IPv6" variant. This caused all servers to start in IPv4
mode instead.
This patch converts the remaining cases to "ipv6". While not strictly
necessary for the run*server variants, these got also converted for
consistency and to prevent future errors.

This is the only user of the backtick operator in the command. As the
commands will soon not be executed by a shell anymore (but by perl),
replace the command with its output.

Makes test1119 pass when building with cmake.
configurehelp.pm is generated by configure (autotools). As cmake does
not provide a separate variable for the C preprocessor, default to cpp.
Before commit ef24ecde68 ("symbol-scan:
use configure script knowledge about how to run the C preprocessor"),
this tool would also use 'cpp'.

Fix detection of the AsynchDNS feature which not just depends on
pthreads support, but also on whether USE_POSIX_THREADS is set or not.
Caught by test 1014.
This patch adds a new ENABLE_THREADED_RESOLVER option (corresponding to
--enable-threaded-resolver of autotools) which also needs a check for
HAVE_PTHREAD_H.
For symmetry with autotools, CURL_USE_ARES is renamed to ENABLE_ARES
(--enable-ares). Checks that test for the availability actually use
USE_ARES instead as that is the result of whether a-res is available or
not (in practice this does not matter as CARES is marked as required
package, but nevertheless it is better to write the intent).

I noticed that a patched cmake build would pass tests with a fake local
hostname, but the autotools build skips them:
got unexpected host name back, LD_PRELOAD failed
It turns out that -fvisibility=hidden hides the symbol, and since the
tests are not part of libcurl, it fails too. Just remove the LIBCURL
guard.
Broken since cURL 7.30 (commit 83a42ee20e,
"curl.h: stricter CURL_EXTERN linkage decorations logic").

Added !SSPI to the features list of the HTTP digest tests, as SSPI
based builds now use the Windows SSPI messaging API rather than the
internal functions, and we can't control the random numbers that get
used as part of the digest.
Basically since servers often then don't respond well to this and
instead send the full contents and then libcurl would instead error out
with the assumption that the server doesn't support resume. As the data
is then already transfered, this is now considered fine.
Test case 1434 added to verify this. Test case 1042 slightly modified.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1443
HTTP 1.1 is clearly specified to only allow three digit response codes,
and libcurl used sscanf("%3d") for that purpose. This made libcurl
support smaller numbers but not larger. It does now, but we will not
make any specific promises nor document this further since it is going
outside of what HTTP is.
